Performance
In terms of how it handles, the Mini Cooper Hardtop 2-Door comes with a range of performance options. The base-level Cooper model features a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine that comes paired with a six-speed manual transmission which produces a performance output of 134 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. Upgrading to the Cooper S swaps out the base engine for a 2.0-liter turbo-four that improves the power potential to 189 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque which only gets better. The elite John Cooper Works trim uses the same turbo-four but gets an enhanced performance output of 228 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque.

With expressive headlights, a shapely exterior, and plenty of customization options inside and out including a diverse array of color choices and a variety of other features, the Hardtop 2 Door is as much a fashion statement as it is a dynamic and capable daily driver. Available with simulated leather, cloth, or leather upholstery, the Hardtop 2 Door allows you to personalize your MINI down to the finer details.
